A Patient Having Multiple Fruit-Vegetable Allergies Presenting with Abdominal Pain

Öz:
Allergy to fruits and vegetables are the most frequent food allergies in adolescents and adults. The most common phenotypes of fruit and vegetable allergy are pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) (oral allergy syndrome) and lipid transfer protein (LTP) syndrome. In PFAS, fruit and vegetable allergy is caused by a prime sensitization to labile pollen allergens, e.g. Bet v 1 or profilin, and yielding generally mild phenotype, is made of local oropharyngeal symptoms. However, LTP syndrome occurs from a sensitization to LTPs, which are stable plant food allergens, often resulting systemic allergic reactions and moreover anaphylaxis. Componentresolved molecular diagnosis is crucial in directing the treatment of these patients. Existing therapeutic policies involve prevention and salvage medication, including epinephrine, for life-threatening LTP allergic reactions. Allergen specific pollen immunotherapy is not found to be helpful to manage PFAS, nevertheless sublingual immunotherapy against LTPs appears to be an encouraging treatment. Here, an interesting patient having abdominal pain for a long period of time whom later diagnosed by us with PFAS is discussed under the light of recent literature.

Karın Ağrısı Şikayeti ile Başvuran Hastada Çoklu Sebze-Meyve Alerjisi

Öz:
Meyve ve sebzelere alerji, ergen ve erişkinlerde en sık rastlanan besin alerjisidir. Meyve ve sebze alerjisinin en sık görülen klinik şekli (fenotipi) polen-besin alerji sendromu (PFAS) (oral alerji sendromu) ve lipid transfer protein (LTP) sendromudur. PFAS’de, meyve ve sebze alerjisi dayanıksız (labil) Bet v 1 veya profilin gibi polen alerjenlerine primer duyarlaşma ile meydana gelir ve genellikle lokal orofaringeal semptomlarla giden hafif bir fenotipe yol açar. Fakat LTP sendromu, stabil bitki besin alerjeni olan LTP duyarlaşmasına bağlı oluşur ve sıklıkla sistemik alerjik semptomlara ve daha fazlası anafilaksiye yol açabilir. Bu hastaların tedavisini yönlendirmede, bileşenedayalı moleküler teşhis yöntemi esastır. Mevcut tedavi stratejileri alerjenden korunma ve yaşamı tehdit eden LTP alerjik reaksiyonlarında epinefrin gibi kurtarıcı ilaç kullanımını içerir. Allerjen spesifik polen immünoterapisi PFAS’nin tedavisinde yararlı bulunmamış olmakla beraber, LTP’lerine karşı verilen sublingual immünoterapi ümit vadetmektedir. Burada, uzun süredir karın ağrısı olan ilginç bir hastanın PFAS tanısı konulması güncel literatür veriler ışığında tartışılacaktır.
